10.Can you tell us what to expect from you in 2012? Any big projects or life-changing goals?I hope to get out one free pattern a month in 2012. and maybe start a trend? haha. I really do want to try new things with sewing and get over the applique fears I have. I've only been sewing for a year so I have lots of things left to try! I want to do some sewing for myself this year as well.
